Each team will be randomly assigned 3 problems, and we’ll be asking you to decide on one to focus your tool on at the end of day 1!

We’ve prepared a selection of datasets for the event, and these can be viewed on our datasets page.

Where data has been pre-prepared, we have hosted it on a public S3 bucket. You can find out more about using the data through this handy guide.

Our problem statement and tooling sessions will take place in the rooms below. The floorplan is available here.

The armoury sessions should be 30 minutes each, so make sure you get to the ones you’d like to!
